Sevilla: 7

A French team has never won it but Ipswich Town have.
This is what I do to take my mind off the fact that Palace just hit the post when 4-0 up against us. :)
Yes, 9 pens but still more non-penalty goals in the league than Saka and only one less than Salah. He's a young player in his first proper season, at a dysfunctional side, who arrived late in the window etc etc.
The first result when I googled it was wikipedia which says what I said but I just looked again and it says the current holder is Leicester so I guess it's not been updated. :lol: My bad.
I guess my UK VPN wasn't on when I searched hence it give me the simple English wiki...
Even Paul feckin Merson could see, before the game, that they should have started Jorginho. They've had so much success with that recently, pushing Rice further forward and playing Havertz up front. Then Lego pep changed it today to "go for it".

He's smart to turn them down, it's a poisoned chalice at the moment.
I agree with the people saying we will finish 6th but in the unlikely but possible event of Chelsea, Newcastle or Leicester/Wolves/Coventry winning the FA Cup, then they will go directly into the Europa and the 6th place team will be in the conference league......qualifier.

In his most productive season ever last year, Rashford scored 4 more league goals than Steve Bruce did in his highest scoring season for us.
And yes yes, before someone says; penalties. I know.
They haven't won the cup since 19-20. Bayern don't need a curse to embarass themselves in that. They were more than capable of losing 5-0 in it without him.
